They are speculating the Aldebaran will be made with ci4+ instead of magnesium.

NNNooooooooooooo......

Its only speculation from the translation I read on the blog site. I hope its not true either.

Fine by me. I've got nothing but love for the Chronarch. Can only imagine the Aldebaran will be top notch.

44,000 yen = $367....that's magnesium territory....

The street prices will be lower. Let's just hope the yen will stay weak.

If I can find it under $300 I'm getting at least 2 of them. Been waiting for a 50 size with Xship and SVS infinity. I don't care if it's the Aldebaran, Chronarch, or Curado, I need my 50's.

I'm guessing they'll release very same reels state side just like the metanium and anteres were

Bigger pics, you can see the external dial for the Aldebaran and the shallow spool



Still cant see any external DC adjustment for the Met

Those Lews-like knobs on the Aldebaran have got to go...ugh.

Yeah, they need to stick with the ergo septon grips. These new grips don't seem to have the ergo shaping that makes Shimano knobs so comfortable.

Looks like the Met knobs have some ribs on them.
